3 Ingredient Gingersnap Icebox Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Line a 16-cup (10-inch) Bundt pan with plastic wrap, leaving about a 2-inch overhang on all sides (it's okay if the plastic wrap doesn't go completely up the sides of the center column).
• Combine the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 3 minutes; scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the cream and continue to beat, starting on medium speed and gradually increasing to medium high as the mixture thickens and finally forms stiff peaks, about 4 minutes.
• Evenly spread about 1 1/2 cups of the whipped cream mixture on the bottom of the bundt pan. Top with 16 overlapping cookies to cover. Evenly spread about a third of the remaining cream mixture over the cookies and top with a layer of 16 overlapping cookies on the outer ring of the pan and then 6 halved cookies (snap them in half with your hands) on the inner ring of the pan to cover. Evenly spread out half of the remaining cream mixture and top with a layer of 16 slightly overlapping cookies on the outer ring and about 8 slightly overlapping cookies on the inner ring of the pan to cover. Finish with the remaining cream mixture and spread evenly, then loosely wrap the cake with the plastic wrap overhang. Refrigerate 12 hours and up to overnight.
• Put the remaining cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them to crumbs with a rolling pin or the bottom of a measuring cup; reserve.
• When ready to serve, unwrap the plastic wrap and invert the bundt pan onto a serving platter; remove the pan and carefully pull off the plastic wrap. Using your hands, press the gingersnap crumbs against the bottom of the cake about one-third of the way up the side. Drizzle the top with the caramel and chocolate sauces. Cut into slices with a serrated knife.

Steps:

• Set aside half the strawberries, choosing the smallest, prettiest ones. They'll be used for serving. Hull the remaining berries.
• Using a blender or food processor, purée the hulled strawberries, then strain through a fine mesh strainer. You should have about 2/3 cup of purée.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer set on low speed, whisk together strawberry purée, mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, 3/4 teaspoon lime zest and the lime juice. Once the cream mixture is combined, but not fully whipped, taste and add more confectioners' sugar if necessary (this will depend on how sweet your strawberries are). Whip to medium-stiff peaks.
• On a serving platter, lay 2 rows of 4 cookies (for a total of 8) in a rectangle. Spread 1/2 cup cream mixture over the cookies, spreading it to the edges. Top with another 8 cookies, and spread with another 1/2 cup cream. Repeat 2 more times, so you have 4 layers of cookies. Top with remaining cream, spreading it along the sides like frosting. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill for at least 8 hours, and preferably overnight.
• Half an hour before serving, hull and quarter remaining strawberries (cut them in eighths, if they're large). Toss berries in a medium bowl with granulated sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon lime zest and the ginger. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, and up to 1 hour; they should release their juices, which will turn syrupy from the sugar. Taste and add more lime zest, ginger and a squeeze of lime juice, if you like.
• Just before serving, arrange strawberries on top of the cake and drizzle with accumulated syrupy juices. Serve at once, cutting cake into slices.

Steps:

• Spread a thin layer of whipped cream in a square glass baking dish.
• Layer graham crackers on top, then cover with a layer of whipped cream.
• Sprinkle ⅓ of the strawberries on top, then layer with cream again.
• Repeat steps 2 and 3 until no more ingredients remain. (The top layer should be strawberries and should not be covered with cream.)
• Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar with the lemon juice and zest. Beat until creamy and well blended. Add the raspberries and use a rubber spatula to smash and stir them into the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
• Line a 9x3-inch loaf pan with a sheet of parchment paper long enough to hang over the sides (this will act as a sling to lift out the cake when it's ready to serve).
• Arrange 8 gingersnaps in a single layer in the bottom of the pan. Spread one third of the filling over the cookies. Repeat this process twice with the remaining cookies and cream, making three layers in all.
• Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours, and preferably overnight. When ready to serve, lift the cake out of the pan and cut into slices.

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with parchment to overhang the edges and set aside. Carefully remove the coconut milk cans from the refrigerator so the fat and liquid remain separated. Spoon the hardened coconut cream from the can and place in a large bowl (save the liquid for another use, such as smoothies).
• Beat the coconut cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy and medium peaks form. Reduce the speed to low and add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, ground ginger, zest of 1/2 lime and salt and beat until just combined. Gently fold in the crystalized ginger with a rubber spatula.
• Place 8 of the Gingersnap Cookies in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared loaf pan (they may overlap just slightly and that is okay). Spread a heaping 1/2 cup of the coconut cream mixture on top, then repeat the process 4 more times, ending with the remaining coconut cream on top. Garnish with the zest from the other lime half, the toasted coconut and sprinkles (if using).
• Cover and refrigerate until the cookies are completely softened, 6 hours and up to overnight.
• Stir together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, allspice, baking soda, cloves and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed until light, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and add the egg and molasses. Beat until well combined. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until the dough comes together and cleans the sides of the bowl.
• Divide the dough into 2 portions. Lay out a piece of plastic wrap about 16 inches long. Form one portion of the dough into a log and place at one end of the plastic. Roll the plastic around the dough and roll with your hands to make a log about 8 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. Twist the ends to seal well. Repeat with the remaining dough. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours. (You can also freeze the dough, using directly from the freezer.)
• To bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with a rack in the top and bottom thirds. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Remove the plastic from a dough log and cut 1/4-inch-thick rounds (a serrated knife works well), placing them about an inch apart on the baking sheets. Bake, rotating the sheets from top to bottom halfway through, until the cookies are crisp and golden on the bottoms and edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Steps:

• Beat the heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Fold in the cream of coconut until just incorporated.
• Spread about 1 heaping teaspoon of the coconut whipped cream onto each gingersnap. Press the cookies together on their sides to form a 12-inch-long log on a serving platter. Cover the log with the remaining coconut whipped cream. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the coconut flakes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until just golden, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Peel, pit and dice the mango. Toss with the lime juice, sugar and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the toasted coconut all over the cake, gently pressing to adhere. Top with the mango. Cut on the diagonal to serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and lemon zest until creamy. Beat in lemon curd until smooth. Gradually add cream, beating on medium-high speed until soft peaks form., Line bottom of an 8-in. square dish with 9 cookies; spread with about 2/3 cup cream cheese mixture. Repeat layers 6 times. Sprinkle with crystallized ginger. Refrigerate, covered, 2 hours or overnight.
